Chapter 338: Chapter 338: The Materials Provided by Zheng Hong

"County Mayor, this is some information I’ve been preparing for some time, which might be of some use to you," Zheng Hong entered, holding a USB flash drive in his hand.

Ji Yang looked at him, his heart satisfied. This Zheng Hong was a perceptive man who knew that he needed to offer something tangible to gain his trust.

"Good, let me take a look."

"Okay, then I’ll be leaving."

After Zheng Hong had left, Ji Yang plugged the USB drive into the computer.

Soon, a meticulously crafted relationship chart appeared before Ji Yang’s eyes.

Although Guo Yuming and his team had been here for a while and had uncovered some things, they couldn’t compare to what Zheng Hong had provided.

After seeing it, Ji Yang now had a complete understanding of the various factions in Chunshui County.

From this information, it was apparent that although the factions were local, there were clear divisions among them, with two being the most powerful: one led by the Deputy Party Secretary Cao Qiufeng, and the other by the Deputy Director of the Provincial Party Committee’s Publicity Department, Zuo Minggui.

Though these two forces seemed unequal, both were backed by the presence of retired Vice Presidents of the Political Consultative Conference.

Ji Yang wondered how Zheng Hong had managed to gather such detailed information on their power and personnel.

After the two former Vice Presidents of the Political Consultative Conference retired, some issues were uncovered, leading to the newly appointed provincial leaders starting some investigations. However, since they had once been leaders, no severe actions had been taken against them yet.

Then there was the fact that the person behind Zuo Minggui had died, and the other Vice President was severely ill and seemed unlikely to recover.

If he also died, the two factions might reignite their dispute.

Zuo Minggui?

Ji Yang still had some reservations about this person; after all, he was at the deputy ministerial level. Although not highly ranked, his position meant Ji Yang could not easily shake him.

The Deputy Party Secretary, Cao Qiufeng, was equally troublesome. If Ji Yang openly fought those people, he might not even know how he had died.

Having understood these internal affairs, Ji Yang felt that he really needed to be more cautious.

If he could take down both Cao Qiufeng and Zuo Minggui first, then the affairs of the county wouldn’t be an issue anymore.

Those two had emerged from Chunshui County, and it wasn’t clear just how extensive their influence was behind the scenes, but they alone were enough to protect the people of Chunshui County.

Bao Geishan was one of Cao Qiufeng’s people, and now that he had run into trouble, Zuo Minggui’s camp was pleased.

Gao Chonglin was one of Zuo Minggui’s people, and it was likely that Zuo Minggui’s faction was now maneuvering to get Gao Chonglin into power.

If that were the case, Ji Yang might well find himself entangled in various troubles here.

But for now, let’s not worry about all that—taking down Gao Chonglin was the priority.

Ji Yang knew that no amount of thinking would help; he could only take things one step at a time.

There was also the matter of the beautiful female secretary arranged for him, who was actually Gao Chonglin’s mistress.

Gao Chonglin had even brought his own woman into the mix!

Lighting a cigarette and taking a drag, Ji Yang began to ponder how to handle the situation.

He had chosen wisely to use Zheng Hong, who had quietly uncovered so much of the inside story here. Without his information, Ji Yang would have truly believed they were united as one.

Right, there was another thing—why had Jiang Fei recorded those things?

Now Ji Yang felt that there were deeper secrets hidden there.

After watching the videos on Jiang Fei’s mobile phone once more, and comparing them to the relationship chart provided by Zheng Hong, Ji Yang suddenly realized that Jiang Fei was probably not just Bao Geishan’s man; this time, it had been Gao Chonglin who had wanted to involve him in the attempt to bring Ji Yang down using Bao Geishan.

How complex!
